WOW we are up to week 8 with Magnolia down under challenges, gosh that has gone fast! This weeks challenge was set by me! I'm crazy for cupcakes and just LOVE this Magnolia cupcake! I have covered the frosting and bow with crystal effects! The papers I have used are Kaiser craft and as soon as I seen the little cupcake pattern I knew I had to have it for this challenge. Make sure you go check out all the DT's work, they are all so fabulous. And if you wanna play all you need to do is make your card with a magnolia stamp and some sort of cupcake theme or if you have any magnolia cupcake stamp, its up to you how you interpret the challenge, and have it entered by Saturday 25th 12.pm. Australian EST

Thanks for looking!

P.S did you notice my gorgeous signature?? It was made for me by a very good SU friend Kristie Morrison who is going to be starting a business called Pink lilly designs, as soon as the blog is ready I will post the link. Kristie will also be doing backgrounds and banners for blogs and special packages.

My business cards arrived today yippee! And well although the colour is not what it looked like on the computer??? OH well never mind. Anyway so this is the front of the business card and on the back which you will see below I have a rewards program. Basically its for when you attend classes with ME. This does not include workshops, Classes only. So for every class you attend I will stamp a box, and once all 5 are stamped you get to choose a free ink pad colour of your choice! RRP $ 11.95 The card is valid for 12 months form the date of first class attended. So if your interested in attending any classes with me, I have one coming up on Tuesday 28th April 7pm .

Anyway if you have any magnolia stamps in your stash make sure you pop over to MDUC and have a play in one of our weekly challenges. This weeks challenge was set by the lovely DTDebbie and the challenge was to make a sepia card! This was a struggle for me, but here is what I came up with anyway. Thanks for looking. Oh also convention for Stampin' up! is in 2 weeks!!! Im so excited to go to Canberra and meet sooo many of the lovely demos I have chatted to online and also learn new techniques. FUN FUN.

But be warned a majority of pics may just be off me and Kellie lol since we sharing a room heheh. But I will endeavour to get some pics of "The famous ones" lol like Yvonne Campbell, MakeeshaByl, Kerri Hunter, Karen Thomas, Marelle Taylor etc hehehI'm going to be the SU paparazzi!!!
